I have never really been into hiking much. I'm not a fan of blisters, sweat, bugs, and pain. It has been a long time since I've been in good enough physical shape to go very far without huffing and puffing.

However, in June 2010 after reading several blogs and online journals of long distance hikers, I became intrigued with accomplishing something that not too many have. I know I won't be able to do a long-distance hike such as the Appalachian or the Pacific Crest trails but I want to experience similar challenges. I want to enjoy the rock in my path, the pelting rain in my face, the sun burning my neck. I want to see the lightning in the forest, the flowers in the fields, the eagle on the cliff. I need a new hobby and a goal that will take several years. I want to have a story to tell.

These are my adventures: from the best to the worst, the huffing to the puffing, the lowest to the highest.
This is my story from Rock Bottom to Sky High.
